Oconee County Elections Board Removes Bishop Council Member From November Ballot, Reversing Opinion Of City Attorney

***Post 3 Council Member Holder Also Removed From Bishop Voter Roll***

The Oconee County Board of Elections and Registration voted unanimously on Wednesday to disqualify incumbent Hudson Holder from running for election to Post 3 on the Bishop Town Council.

The Board, after an hour-long hearing, rejected the legal opinion of Bishop City Attorney Joe Reitman, who had concluded in February that Holder was eligible to serve on the Bishop Town Council.
